Girasoles - Watkinsville
George Vaillant Talk about a hidden gem, we found Girasoles Restaurant just outside of Athens, Georgia, in the town of Watkinsville. Reservations are highly recommended for seating after 5:30.
The menu is full of excellent choices and the specials are endless.
We started our gastronomic adventure Shrimp and Crab Soup and Roasted Tomato Soup. We both could have stopped right there and had a reorder, the soups were OUTSTANDING!
Our son so enjoyed the warm Sherry & Hot Bacon Salad as a starter.
The Pasta Bolognese was full of wonderful chunks of beef that melted in your mouth. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Filet Mignon and Scottish Salmon topped with large chunks of white crab meat. I can lament forever. All I know is when we visit Athens area again we will eat nowhere else but at Girasoles.
10 Stars to the Chef and Staff, your food and service is worthy of a Michelin Star.
